Q

What is ISCHEMIA?

Q

What are Trigger Points?

A

A localized area of deep tenderness that MAY produce referred pain - often in a PREDICTABLE area when overloaded or under direct digital pressure

Q

What is POSTURAL DISTORTION?

A

The result of imbalance in the musculoskeletal system caused by hypertonicity and gravity. This can cause shortened or lengthened muscles

16
Q

Postural Analysis

A

Muscles can be identified as LOCKED SHORT or LOCKED LONG based on posture.
Therapists can then treat the LOCKED SHORT muscles as a means of balancing posture

17
Q

Nerve entrapment

A

Constriction or mechanical distortion of a nerve within a fibrous, fibrocartilage-osseous tunnel or taught band which in turn interferes with nerve conduction

18
Q

Difference between Swedish Massage and NMT

A

Swedish Massage has a goal of RELAXATION

NMT has a goal of PAIN RELIEF

19
Q

What is PALPATION

A

To assess the body through touch

20
Q

What do we palpate?

A

Specific individual muscles

21
Q

What are we feeling for during palpation

A

Hypertonicity
Reaction
Trigger Points

22
Q

How much pressure should you use to find trigger points?

A

Just enough to elicit a referred sensation

Use a scale of 1-10 aiming for 7

23
Q

What is the PROTOCOL for NMT technique

A

ASSESS - Evaluate what they are saying and how they are walking and holding themselves (posture)

GENERAL GLIDE - warm up the muscle region with effleurage

SPECIFIC GLIDE - STATIC PRESSURE / TRIGGER POINT RELEASE - use the “wave” to SLOWLY stretch the myofascial tissue until you find a point of pain then use STATIC PRESSURE and a pain scale until you reach 7

Ask if you can use more pressure?

Have the client BREATH deep for 10-12 seconds.

Re-evaluate pain scale

Treat twice

24
Q

O. I. A. R. stands for

A

ORIGIN
INSERTION
ACTION
R = Functional Anatomy - Related muscles and structures

25
Q

How you should define the pain scale (don’t call it a pain scale to the client)

A

Less than 5: I definitely need more pressure

5: that feels good. No discomfort
6: mild discomfort
7: moderate discomfort
7. 5: strong sensation but no impulse to withdraw
8: impulse to withdraw, pain, inability to relax into the technique
